Jesus Christ preaches and models what it means to be a good neighbor. He is also frequently considered a bad citizen. There is no escaping this tension. Being a good neighbor requires a different mindset and value system than being a good citizen. They often conflict.

Explore this tension and conflict by following the 14 traditional Stations of the Cross – and a bonus 15th station – with Jesus and the people He encounters along the way.

Meditate on the historical context and its connections to the present day, bolstered by references to events described in the four Gospels of the Bible.

And wrestle with the resolution encouraged by Jesus: Be a good neighbor, even if makes you a bad citizen.
